He graduates from NUS at 19, then serves NS

pinkie also a maths guy, suppose to be smart.

as for street smart, a mee siam mai hum can tell u how street smart pinkie is.

It makes me wonder what level does good in mathematics can bring a person to .I disagree that the person must be smart.
I was very good in mathematics back in school days, scoring mostly close to 100% in every exams till tietary education, but today sadly to say I am drawing a salary that I have no face to disclose now :o
 
Nice and disciplined guy but not very intelligent. Imagine someone struggling to get good grades in O levels and now lead researcher.

Does this mean that doing well in O-levels is the benchmark for intellectual acumen? I know a singkie who did not do fantastically in O-levels and A-levels but did not give up on himself. He did not come from a rich background - pure heartlander but he had a couple of teachers in school who were convinced he had the necessary intelligence and drive - somehow he managed to get into a good traditional university in the UK (not the ex-polytechnics which converted into universities overnight type) and actually came out top of his class and won literally every possible prize in his department. He applied for Cambridge and despite not having great O-levels and A-levels, on the back of his uni results and uni thesis, he got admitted into a postgraduate programme and again aced it. He went on to receive a full scholarship from a UK institution for his professional exams (he competed with other English and European students) and came out top 5% of the thousands who took the exams. He then was interviewed by various panels of highly qualified individuals in his field for another training scholarship and he was again successful in securing that. He has been working in the UK eversince and has done well for himself.

Benchmarking against O-levels sounds like something the Old Man would champion - in the UK, at some point in one's career O-levels and A-levels have little relevance if you do very well at a good university and then have good pedigree of training - nobody expects you to list your Olevel or A level results on your CV once you've been working as a professional for a few years - it is the relevant experience that matters - it is really ridiculous as a rule-of-thumb to gauge one's ability as pegged to O and A level results.

Maths genius can also run wild - look at Sufiah Yusof:

With the intellect to win a place at Oxford at the age of 13, Sufiah Yusof should, by now, be carving out a high-flying career for herself.
But a decade after hitting the headlines thanks to her remarkable aptitude for mathematics - and days after her father was jailed for sexually assaulting two teenagers - Miss Yusof has been exposed as a £130-an-hour prostitute.

The revelation completes a sad fall from grace for the family who were hailed the brightest in Britain after Miss Yusof and two of her siblings won university places by the time they were 16.


"I have a nice life and I am in control,” she says. “I hate this stereotype society has of escorts being exploited. It is so far from the truth. “My clients treat me like a princess. One guy I see in London took me shopping on Bond Street. He bought me a beautiful black Gucci dress for £700 and then took me to Selfridges and told me to pick any handbag I liked.” She chose a £600 Gucci clutch. “I’m a Primark (cheap brand in UK) and Topshop girl normally! I felt like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. Later that night we went for dinner. I wore my Gucci dress and sexy lingerie and took great pleasure in peeling it off for him later on back at his hotel.”

"“My clients love the fact that I can stimulate their minds AND their bodies,” she boasts in a shockingly frank interview with the News of the World. “And I don’t believe my education has been wasted—in fact I usually take problem sheets with me to solve before appointments.” Sufiah decided to CONFESS ALL after we revealed how the former child prodigy was working as a £130-an-hour prostitute while studying for a masters in economics. It is the latest heartbreaking twist to a life that seemed so full of promise—but went tragically wrong when she cracked under the pressure of her bullying father’s cruel academic regime and fled university at 15. Eight years on, he is now in jail for sexually assaulting two girl pupils and Sufiah has somehow convinced herself that her seedy new career is the answer to all her problems. “People think escorting is sleazy and terrible but I don’t see it like that,” she says. “I’ve always had a high sex drive—and now I’m getting all the sex I want—and guys are much better in bed with an escort than a girlfriend. “I have men who are thrilled about my passion for mathematics. In fact one made me recite equations while he pleasured me, then I gave him oral sex while he chatted about algebra. It drove him wild.” And brainbox Sufiah has worked out that subtracting your respectability to become a prostitute can equal big money."

Boss, supply and demand. You understand that, you'll understand why business people or even entertainers are richer than academics.

I think you got me wrong. I do not mean the broker type. I meant those mathematics genius behind the scene crafting algorithums for High Frequency Trading and the likes
 
Study so much for fuck? Genius so? End up a salaried worker for non grad tow kays. What a fucking joke
 
these kind of gifted kids will end up becoming Misfits in society or becomes suicidal...
 
These are not prodigies. These are kids whose parents have invested time and effort to build their capacity. The kids themselves have to be keen and with sufficient intelligence. They typically end up in academia because they have achieved advanced qualifications and more less comfortable in research.

The teachers and those in the gifted programme will tell you the truly gifted ones are few and far between. All its takes is a day and you can pick out a prodigy or truly gifted individual.

I know a Eurasian guy whose parents were obsessed with their son that they badgered the Principal of a JC to take him in when his O level were not that great. They kept at him and he eventually got his PHD in a science discipline and became a lead researcher in NUS/NUH. Nice and disciplined guy but not very intelligent. Imagine someone struggling to get good grades in O levels and now lead researcher.

u really cannot judge someone based on his O level and A level grades. my former mentor fuck up his A level very badly had to appeal 3 times before he can get in. but he do damn well in his uni, graduate with 2nd upper and continued to do his phd under Astar scholarship.

to be a PI as you said in NUS/NUH, during his graduates and post graduate days he must be god damn fucking good pushing lots of paper out. OR....he is just one of the lucky sperm with rich and FUCKING powerful connections to the Lees.
